Ingredients

  • 2 Pound block of White Velveeta Cheese or you can use sliced American if you wish
  • 1 7  oz can of chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of Milk

Instructions

  • Cut the cheese up into cubes and place in slow cooker.
  • Pour green chilies over and mix around.
  • Let melt for about 30 minutes on high and then add 1/2 cup of milk.
  • Check on regularly to stir it all together.
  • Continue adding milk until it is the desired consistency that you would like to see.
  • The less milk you add, the more thick it will be.
  • Once it has reached the consistency you're looking for, place the slow cooker on the "Keep Warm" setting.  If your slow cooker doesn't have this setting, you can put it on low, but watch it carefully so that it doesn't burn.

 I Love My Crock-It Lock-It - No More Spills!

 

So, we had this party that we were planning to host at our church.  I remember the last time that I had to take my slow cooker anywhere, it was such a pain.  The lid would always tip off and I’d risk losing the contents, or at least contaminating them.  It’s always such a huge job getting it to and from the car.  You can’t carry anything else with it as you have to keep all hands on the slow cooker!  Oh and don’t contaminate the serving piece by dropping it on the floor of your car, right?

 

I recently ran across the Crock-It Lock-It on another website and thought that I would LOVE to try it out in person.  The next week, I received mine at my door, but I didn’t really pay much attention to it until I absolutely needed to use it.  After all, what good are tools until you need them, right?

As I was getting ready for this party, I remembered that I could use this to keep my crockpot lid on tight, and it would also make it easier to carry.  Once I got it strapped onto my slow cooker, I was hooked!

Crock-It Lock-It - Take Your Crockpot full of food anywhere with ease.

What is a Crock-It Lock-It?

A Crock-It Lock-It is a special tool to help cinch your lid down onto your slow cooker so that when you have to take it outside of your house, like to a party or a pot luck dinner, the lid won’t tip off and you don’t risk spilling the contents.  It also has a great handle on the top so that you can carry it one handed and with ease.  It really is an amazing little product!  Watch this video to see more about how it works:

Why We Love Our Crock-It Lock-It

Carrying the Crock-It Lock-It with one hand

  • The amazing handle!  Really, it’s amazing.  It feels so sturdy.  There’s no way it would break off of the unit.  It’s the perfect grasp for your hand.
  • You can get it so tight, you’ll never worry about your contents spilling.  In fact, on our way into town, my daughter accidentally tipped the slow cooker all the way up so that the cheese dip was around the lid area, but nothing oozed out and of course, nothing spilled.  Yay!
  • It’s adjustable!  You can fit any sized slow cooker into the Crock-It Lock-It.  There’s a guide on the straps that allows you to set it where you want them to be set.  From 3 quart slow cookers all the way to 8 quart slow cookers.   It will work for oval or round slow cookers.
  • You can carry your slow cooker one handed.  Because you’re not a bit worried that it’s going to spill, you can carry your slow cooker with the Crock-It Lock-It attached, one handed.  It feels like you’re carrying a briefcase.  Seriously. (and that’s my daughter demonstrating for you above)
  • It comes with a ladle that is always attached to the top!  To me, that little idea was ingenious.  You can have your crockpot and your ladle, too!  🙂  I always forgot my serving utensils before now!

Where Can You Get One?

Go to the Crock-It Lock-It website.  Be sure to like them on Facebook to show them some support, too!  This is a new product and all the support to get their name out there would be amazing!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
